Personal Injury Expert Witness
Personal Injury Expert Witness
Needing a expert witness on personal injury cases can be a daunting task for lawyers, no matter if you are the plaintiff of defense. A personal injury expert witness is important to help your case. There is always the balance between having a doctor with a vast amount of clinical experience and having a great knowledge of what is in the current and past literature. Speaking from experience as a expert witness in both plaintiff and defense personal injury cases a lawyer needs to be very careful not to get caught up in some common errors when choosing a expert. Complex cases with previous injuries (including pre-existing conditions) and issues like CRPS ( Complex regional pain syndrome which used to be known as RSD , Reflex sympathetic dystrophy) Chronic pain, infections and osteomyilitis need an expert that can clearly show causation or lack thereof. Your Personal Injury Expert Witness should be able to have a vast knowledge of the current literature as well as be fluent with the standard of case with regard to foot and ankle treatments.
As a physician with courtroom experience as well as significant experience with giving depositions and writing reports, I enjoy the challenge of personal injury cases from both the plaintiff and defense aspect. Everyone deserves to have the best representation. Too often I read other physicians reports and see they never read the notes that were sent in. They will often miss crucial information. Many times a physician will get over three thousand pages of medical notes and reports. I can see a doctor is very busy and will not always be so thorough. I take pride in being meticulous and backing up all my statements with published medical literature. Depositions and courtroom appearances are the other aspect of expert testimony that I am always thoroughly prepared and give over eloquent clear concise testimony to help your case.
